CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I used a employment contract template from Legal Zebra. The template was easy to use and understand. It was good to know the template was created in Australia and relevant to Australian law where some of the others are not. Highly recommend!
Great service, very easy to use and very affordable. Shanti is also very responsive adding the security that you have a qualified solicitor on hand when your affairs become more complex. Very happy to recommend this.
Shanti is like an encyclopaedia of legal and business knowledge. When I call him about legal issues, I usually always walk away with more ideas for my business. He has a very good grasp on the industry so when he combines his business experience with his legal brain you can be sure you're getting good advice. He is generous, approachable and fun to work with. I genuinely feel like he has my back and if I could put him in my pocket, I would.
This is a great platform, extremely affordable and a simple process. The service could not be more efficient. Thank you Shanti!

We have agreed to take on a new office manager. We want to make it clear how the deal will work and when she gets paid. Plus, we want to make sure we are not caught with any unexpected liabilities.
As one of our employees is going on maternity leave for 12 months, we want to offer a fixed term contract to a part time employee during that period. We want a simple agreement to cover this so we don't have to keep the temp employee on indefinitely.
Our company is taking on a CEO. We need an agreement to cover the important points like his bonuses and commissions on sales. Yes, you can include all this in the Legal Zebra template.

If you are hiring an employee, you should put an Employment Agreement in black & white. It will help you protect your rights, ensure your employee's entitlements are clearly stated, and minimise the risk of costly disputes.
Likewise, if you’re working as an employee, make sure you get the contract in writing so it's clear what you will get paid.
It's not enough simply to write to your employees with an employment offer letter. You need a firm agreement in place to cover all bases and minimise the risk of disputes. Our template helps you put a binding agreement in place, with ease.
What's the difference between an Employment Contract and an Employment Agreement? There is no difference. These terms are used interchangeably.
What are the main things to cover in an Employment Agreement?
You should make sure that the employment benefits are clearly stated (for example, salary, wages, extra annual leave, company car, etc).
You should also make it clear what the employee is required to do in their job. That is, their employment duties. If this is not clear, you may have a hard time trying to get rid of an employee who you believe is not performing
